I was browsing around the Al Jazeera (a major independent news source) website, where i came upon this: http://blogs.aljazeera.net/middle-east/2010/02/02/iran-attack-update
It explains every current effort the west is making to attack Iran. I believe the US' meddling in the middle east for the past decades all comes down to occupying Iran, in order to gain access to the abundant oil reserves in the Caspian Sea.
Anyway, that webpage led me here http://www.americanforeignpolicy.org/iran-counter-arguments/
I put this thread in the learning section because this link dispells many myths about Iran and provides very important counter-arguements to all the outright lies spewed by western governments as justification for an attack against Iran.
For example, one of the major facts in the article is that Iran, in 2002 and 2003, has helped the US to fund programs ($750 million of Iran's own money) to combat the Taliban in Afghanistan. In return for this, the Bush Administration labeled Iran as part of an "Axis of Evil"! There are many articles in the link which shows how Iran has repeatedly tried to enter good diplomatic relations with the US, while the US refused and is continuing to demonize Iran and why Iran wants to enrich uranium.
